At the 2022 BET Awards, he won the Best Actor award for “King Richard.”

However, he did not appear in-person to accept his award.

[{"selector":"#anim-e2d46063-bd14-4e82-9d9c-2fb9366e2bca","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a92c2678-c0dd-4745-bdf3-ebb7acb198e2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f6d3471-ed02-467f-bea6-16bbe56061a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Earlier this year, Smith also won Best Actor at the 94th annual Academy Awards.

[{"selector":"#anim-3383ff75-664a-4537-a4fb-500ff52f698a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4d8096a7-6d26-43de-8e94-b923e73e520a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62204fe7-6e2f-4685-9862-9d3119c0e206","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This was his first-ever Best Actor Oscar and should have been a moment to celebrate.

[{"selector":"#anim-7e43a98c-101d-4352-a57f-6303b38beee2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5cdd57c7-319c-4af1-b82a-9ffb871c7cbc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78bc0e69-13cc-473a-93e1-281ed272f8ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, moments earlier, Chris Rock made a joke about his wife’s hair loss condition.

[{"selector":"#anim-610734a1-2082-42d4-9bd9-8381a5b14366","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2fc44dcf-3c70-4473-985e-474d97bf6b70","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8f501a60-a46c-4010-ab06-dd8612627799","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This prompted Smith to storm the stage and slap Rock in a highly debated moment.

Smith has been keeping a low profile ever since the incident occurred.

On an episode of the Red Table Talk, Jada revealed the two have yet to reconcile.
